I have been wanting to share something of my experience, but I find it’s difficult. One of my many nieces suggested and sang “Homeward Bound” at my brother’s memorial. Here is a version of it.

This is our last picture of him, taken the weekend of November 7th (Mom’s birthday), when my younger brother was visiting from the mid-west. They were able to spend some quality time together, for which we are all grateful.
Wes never liked having his picture taken; he would always have this little smile that made me sure he was thinking, “Well, if you’re really foolish enough to want a picture, I guess I’ll put up with it!”
Karen, what a nice picture of your brother. Thank you for sharing.
Karen,thanks for sharing with us. That is such a nice picture of your brother. What a lovely rembrance of him.
Karen,
Thank you so much for sharing. Your brother looked like a very sweet man. Your niece has a beautiful voice; I enjoyed her tribute very much. I’m sure your brother would have been very touched. You and your mom continue to be in my prayers.
Hi Karen–What a beautiful song! Such a fitting tribute. And, I’m so glad you shared the photo of your brother. And, what a photo to treasure. The photos turn your memories into 3-D versions. And, during a tough time for you and your family, I hope they bring comfort. Thanks for your update–please continue to keep us posted.
